Japan Tsunami Response: Project Tohoku
We recently launched a new project in response to the Japanese tsunami. After extensive discussion and assessment, we have been asked to provide support to local government in the communities of Ofunato and Rikuzentakata.
It is unclear at this early stage what the scope and scale of the project will be but we have established a working office and living accommodation within government buildings. We have around a dozen advance volunteers in place whose role is focussed on aid distribution and logistics at this stage and we hope to expand to a full international volunteer response project in due course. Further details can be found at http://hands.org/2011/03/29/japan-project-tohoku-announcement/
